I may as well repy to your post here rather than in the other thread.

I'm sure I read somewhere that if you have two speeds of memory then
your mb will access both at the slower speed and therefore there is no
point in getting the higher speed of memory.

Go with PC2700 over 2100 it's worth the cost. A sysmark 2002 benchmark
showed that PC2700 offered an increase of 7 points over 2100 from 230
to 237 although memory will still be a limiting factor on your system,
but probably an acceptable one. To put it into perspective, the system
I'm using atm is an XP1800 with either 2100 or 2700 with a Geforce3
TI200 and I'm yet to find a game I can't run on maximum settings. It
was bought, and not by me so I don't really know the specifics. I'm
not allowed to overclock it either :( Ach well, the new system is
going to be watercooled an o'clocked pretty hard, stability
warranting.
